If this deal is done where are these sellers placed?
Ubid or Bidville?
I took a look at Ubid and their sellers are businesses
who sell to consumers.

I mean you have to be a legit business to sell on Ubid.

I'm wondering the same thing. Ubid has worked very hard over the past 4 years to make their site "fraud free" (or so they claim) and I can't see them relaxing their very strict seller requirements (which include background and credit checks). My bet is the sellers are headed to Bidville. Yahoo had a large sports cards/memorabilia section and those sellers would be a perfect fit for Bidville.
